Android more reliable than Apple

According to a report, if you want an experience on your phone that you'd call 'stable', then it isn't an iPhone you should hanker after. Turns out that the most sturdy system is on the Android, with less reported app crashes than iOS.

Apple fanboys will be further irritated (or indeed, quick to point out the minutiae of why this report is wrong) that the most stable phone you can buy is a Samsung Galaxy S4.

Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean and KitKat have a crash rate of around 0.7% compared to iOS 6, 7, and 7.1 which have an average crash rate of 1.23%. iOS 6 crashes around 2.5% of the time, while iOS 7 is slightly improved at 2.1% and iOS 7.1 at 1.6%.

Most prone to crashes are games, while the least likely to die on you are ecommerce apps. So, while Android takes the overall plaudits, the least stable OS you can have is their Gingerbread system. So it isn't an outright win for Google.
